at A.M.A. (American Medi cal Association) saying that he would like an answer to a queation in order to end his confusion. He had read in a book pertaining to health

everyone ought to drink six glasaca of water a day. In another book on the same subject, ho road. that everyone should have 10 glasses of water a day, So he went to his health teacher in the Irigh school and asked how many glasses of water a day should a person drink. The reply was "Eight."
Adroitly putting us On the apot he demanded to know which of the three answers was correct. We suggested that he be guided by thirst. We were not trying to be funny but wo For really meant it seriously. the normal person, thirst is a reliable guide to the amount of liquid he needs. This amount varies with conditions.
